Bucks up on scoreboard, but Bledsoe ejected

The Milwaukee Bucks hold a 30-26 advantage on the scoreboard after one quarter over the Philadelphia 76ers, but they lost a key player for the rest of the night in a quarter with a lot of fireworks.

Eric Bledsoe was ejected after he and Philadelphia’s Joel Embiid threw the ball at each other with 9:24 left in the period. The two first exchanged shoves positioning for a rebound as Giannis Antetokounmpo made a 3-pointer to give the Bucks a 13-5 lead.

Embiid, for some reason, was not assessed a technical for his throw of the ball at Bledsoe.

Antetokounmpo leads the Bucks with 12 points, and Khris Middleton has 11.
